Joe Girardi repeated the phrase several times Tuesday night in explaining his decision to go with Brian Bruney in the eighth inning, even after Phil Hughes breezed through Seattle in nine pitches in the seventh. After watching Bruney give up two runs that night, allowing Seattle to tie it, Girardi maintained, "Bruney's our eighth-inning guy.'' Not anymore. In two subsequent wins, including Friday's 4-2 win over Toronto, Girardi has called on relievers other than Bruney in the eighth. He said that is likely to continue in the near future. "We need to get [Bruney] going and we need to get him right and we'll get him right,'' Girardi said, "but Hughes is throwing the ball real well right now.'' Phil Coke retired Adam Lind to begin the eighth Friday. Then Hughes - with a fastball that reached 96 mph - gave up a single on an 0-and-2 pitch to Scott Rolen but got Lyle Overbay and Vernon Wells to protect a 3-2 lead. On Wednesday, it was Alfredo Aceves and Coke in the eighth. Girardi said of Hughes: "I see him come out of that bullpen with a lot of confidence. You look at the pitches today - down and away, down and away, 95, 96; location's very good; curveball's very good; just a lot of confidence.'' Bruney didn't pout. "As long as we're getting W's, I really don't care, honestly,'' he said. "We're winning games, we're playing well. I'm sure there's going to be situations where I have to get somebody out and it's going to be a big spot and I'll be ready for it.'' Posada sits again Jorge Posada, who took a foul tip to his left thumb Wednesday night and was limited to pinch hitting Thursday night, did not play Friday. "He's got some swelling in his thumb, so we're going to give him another day and see where he is [Saturday],'' Girardi said before Friday's game. Plans for A-Rod Girardi said Alex Rodriguez likely will get one of the next three home games off before the Yankees head to Minnesota, though he didn't make a complete day off in Minneapolis sound as much a sure thing as he had earlier in the week. "If we give him a complete day off here, you'd think about just DHing him a day in Minnesota,'' Girardi said. In the Yankees' current 8-1 streak, A-Rod has gone 11-for-29 with 12 walks, hit five homers and driven in 14 runs. Girardi said the club will consult with doctors to see if what A-Rod has called the "Philippon Rules'' - named for the doctor who performed his hip surgery - still will be in effect after the All-Star break. He said "we'll wait till we get there'' but added, "The assumption is we'll still have to do some of this once we get past the All-Star break.'' http://tinyurl.com/n7n8cl -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.126.161.196
